<- So The Info Can Be Seen While Looking At The Art - Blog Posts

I gotta get this out of the way, the timeline is different for this au.

Sans is an older teen/younger adult, and Papyrus is a small kid. Just saying this cuz I wanted y'all to know.

Also since Gaster is alive and well, and also Sans and Papyrus's parental figure (not their biological dad); he's like- Basically caring for the boys a lot. Alphys is basically the main royal scientist, and because Gaster's situation didn't happen, his old 'followers' still work as scientists and help people out. They also advised against Alphy's DT research for monster who'd fallen down, until they were certain that only a small amount would work instead. Soooo those goopy amalgamation guys are all okay.

Paperbag Sans

Long ago, when Sans still worked with the core and the royal scientist, something changed.

...

There was a huge breakthrough with the core and how it powered the underground, and the royal scientist WD Gaster decided it would be best to observe this new test up close. Sans followed suit, the other scientists very keen on keeping everything stable from a distance.

That's when it went wrong. One slip, and Sans fell in the core. Gaster and the others did EVERYTHING they could, to pull him out. His entire body was black and burnt when he came out, his face entirely riddled with cracks. Gaster was no better, having directly dove in after him; his face cracked on both sides, hands now with a fresh hole in the middle of both palms.

It took months in the med bay for Sans to recover, and when he did his HP had lowered from 20 to 1. Sans refused to expose his body or face to the world, and was sent off to live with his little brother Papyrus; Sans barely leaving the house.

In solidarity with the incident, a new dress code for all royal guard and scientists was in order, and Gaster was let off to care for Sans and Papyrus at home. It was like this for a long time, quiet and uneventful..

Until a human fell down again.

EDIT: Made the general outfits! Only these parts are universal for all monsters, the rest is their unique clothing preferences. Sans is the one of the only ones whose attire is more unique, because of his insecurity.

The back of Papyrus's shawl is more cape-like, and longer; meanwhile the front half is the same height as standard.

Scientists shawls act more like lab coats, and the King (and queen though not anymore) wear theirs like cloaks.

Royal guards have armour plates attached to theirs, for better protection.
